Jeremy D. Popkin
Jeremy D. Popkin earned his B.A. and Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley, and an A.M. from Harvard University.
In 1978, he was hired on a one-year contract at the University of Kentucky, where a department secretary casually placed him in a conference room, assuming his stay would be brief.
Decades later, Popkin still occupies that same office.
His scholarly interests encompass the French and Haitian revolutions, autobiographical literature, and American Jewish history.
His extensive expertise in these interconnected fields has made him a distinguished and enduring voice in historical scholarship.
